other Instructors within the two groups. This is a chance to meet
and train with other students and experience other forms of Karate.

an opportunity to train with others of various abilities and you
will be able to exchange different concepts of Karate. It would be
nice to see a few more students from other clubs within our group
this year. With the discount we get the Holiday cheaper than other
Haven Holidays at that time of year. We try to add other elements to
the training other then what is usually practice at club level such
as Bokken, Nunchaku, Tonfa, Street Self Defence, Tai Chi and Bag
